As usual, lunch will include a hot entree, a large mixed salad, drink and dessert for only a $5 suggested donation. Make sure to thank Pat and the rest of the crew as they return this fall to serve their fellow genealogists convenient, delicious meals.

Contact our Hospitality Chair, Miriam Benell at dandmbenell@earthlink.net to make your lunch reservations by Wednesday, September 18th so we know how many to plan for!
